Russian Fruit
Salad
- 1/2 cantaloupe, seeded
and cubed (see note)
1/2 honeydew melon, seeded and cubed
1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 nectarines, pitted and sliced
1 cup blackberries or blueberries
1/4 watermelon, cubed
1/2 pound cherries, pitted and halved
1/3 cup lemon juice
2/3 cup vodka
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- Combine cantaloupe, honeydew,
strawberries, nectarines, black- or blueberries, watermelon and
cherries in a large bowl; sprinkle salad with lemon juice and
toss gently.
- Whisk together maple syrup
and vodka; pour on top of fruit salad; mix well and refrigerate
until serving.
Makes 20 servings.
Note: Melons can be exposed
to salmonella and e. coli bacteria as they ripen on the ground.
As a precaution, they should be washed with soap and hot water,
then rinsed before proceeding with any recipe. This applies even
if you are only using the flesh of the melon; the mere act of
cutting through the rind is enough to bring harmful bacteria
in contact with the flesh.
